Minnesota and BJ!

You may or may not know (depending on how closely you stalk me) I just returned from my far away journey to Minnesota. I know this may surprise you, because I'm sure you weren't aware that there was anything in Minnesota- there really isn't (except Mall of America!). But my dear friend (and the subject of this blog) Elly Kushner just reached womanhood. I know you're all very excited, I know I am which is why I took off on an airplane to celebrate. I sat next to a VERY inquisitive person on the plane ride there are she really wanted to know just about everything Jew related. I was staying with Abby Allen, who is one of the coolest people. I got to see my much missed Minnesota friends. And got to tie ribbons on centerpieces. I got to meet Elly's family ("I was raised as a poor black child.") I also got a fist bump from sharkie at Mall of America (which by the way is HUGE). It was so much fun! And my friends (as some of you know) had lots of fun with my phone... And after a long night or serious partying it was time to return back to ChiTown. So it was an amazing trip and I can't wait for Elly to come to Chicago (and visit Akiba...  so she can meet her new bestie). 

BJK is it in you?
